I was eight the first time I saw her.
Ramsay Katherine Walker.
She was the prettiest girl I’d ever seen.

MY REVIEW

Will was entranced the first time he saw Ramsay when he was 8 and she was the new girl at school. In the time since, he's become her best friend, and his fascination with her has only gotten stronger. But when he finds out there's another guy interested in her, it stirs up something in him, and he decides he's finally going to claim his best friend. Now he just has to convince her that their friendship can withstand anything that happens after stepping over that line.


While Will has been in love with Ramsay, she's had her own unrequited (so she thinks) feelings for him. But she'll never cross that line over worries of ruining their friendship, so perhaps her other friend Asia is right, and she needs to put herself out there with a cute guy named Kris. Except...Will's acting strange now that he knows. Is it possible he's felt the same way for her all these years?

Awww! These two best friends are so adorable, neither knowing their feelings all this time were reciprocated. Because this is a novella, it could have felt rushed or incomplete, but it reads like a complete story, with a sweet pair of best friends who have crazy chemistry. I love a special part of the story, it only adds to the sweetness and makes it that much more obvious that they're true soulmates.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
